Bug Guns, 20 Jul 2011Got my Orange San Francisco for £84.99 including £10 top up. The price is a bargai... moreno, when you switch prg, it doesnt run at all, it use only some memory, but dont use battery at all.
u dont need to use a task killer on the blade, task killer use more battery, because open and closing program use more than just having prg sitting there in the background. try it, open 15 prg, you will make over a day with light use...

Got my Orange San Francisco for £84.99 including £10 top up. The price is a bargain for a phone with these specifications and considering you can even unlock it for free and upgrade to Android 2.2 makes the price even better.

The camera in my opinion is very good in good lighting, however is very poor with artificial lighting at night and there is also no flash. I also don't like the multi-tasking, which you need to open the task manager to switch to your other applications and re-open it again to switch again. The battery drains quite rapidly and daily charging will most likely be required.

Other than that, cool phone running Android and probably the best new phone you can buy for under £100.

I just bought one for my daughter, it really is a very good phone for the money, seems more responsive that samsung galaxy ace and htc wildfire and a pile of other phones I tried, very good value, I did upgrade it to 2.2, if it ships you should consider this, but do this at your own risk as there is the possibility of killing it.

zuki45, 09 Jul 2011Hi,can u help me ..i can't decide which one to buy this or nokia c5-03...please help me..tyIt's not a tough decision really! Android vs Symbian? For your own sake, pick Android! ZTE is a great phone and rather easy to Root to a custom ROM as well.

Siam, 05 Jul 2011I got my IMEI, and also got 8 digit unlock code..
But after inserting sim, and then opening, ... moreyou have to insert a sim card from another operator, take one of your friend, just to unlock it.

zte man, 18 Jun 2011seem you have to unlock your sim card, or try to use another sim(even a deactivated), check on... moreI got my IMEI, and also got 8 digit unlock code..
But after inserting sim, and then opening, it does not ask for any code.
Now the problem is that where will i put the code?

I even unable to enter into many options in settings like Mobile network, status etc.

This is the best phone I ever owned. I had the zte blade with LCD screen and not AMOLED

Advantages:
+Price (120 euros)
+High resolution capacitive multi-touch screen with good brightness and high responsiveness and accuracy
+Android 2.2 is good and has no other UI above it which makes it quick
+Good amount of RAM memory and decent processor, allows for good gameplay and video playback (I have tested up to VGA resolution with both native video player and the seaman player, and games such as PES 2011)
+Decent music playback

Disadvantages
-Camera
-Battery-life

All in all, I would definitely give this phone a 9/10 in overall score. If you want a better phone, you´ll have to add at least 80 euros to get such a phone.
